Answer:
75 coloured pencils
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's say Jordon has x total pencils.
We know that 20% of these x pencils is 15, so we have:
20% * x = 15
Remember that % is just "out of 100", so 20% = 20/100 = 0.20. Then:
0.20x = 15
x = 15 / 0.20 = 75
Jordon has 75 coloured pencils.
First, think this through. If you are 23 miles from Sacramento, and 110 miles from Oakland (I am assuming it is miles since you didn't specify *cough cough*) then the two cities are 133 miles apart (also assuming you are in between them)
so, we use the midpoint formula to find our position
and get 66.5 miles from both Sacramento and Oakland.
Next, we already know the sign is 23 miles away from Sacramento so we can use that distance and our position to figure out how far away the sign is. We use absolute values because distance is always positive.
so we get
to double check, use the sign's distance from Oakland.
so, we are 43.5 miles from the sign!

Answer: 1- a square has 4 equal sides so if one side is 9cm then the rest are 9cm, so 9x4= 36cm
2- do the same thing as part 1 but add a power of 2 to it, so 36^2 = 1296cm
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
The general plan is to find BM and from that CM. You need 2 equations to do that.
Step One
Set up the two equations.
(7 - BM)^2 + CM^2 = (4*sqrt(2) ) ^ 2 = 32
BM^2 + CM^2 = 5^2 = 25
Step Two
Subtract the two equations.
(7 - BM)^2 + CM^2 = 32
BM^2 + CM^2 = 25
(7 - BM)^2 - BM^2 = 7 (3)
Step three
Expand the left side of the new equation labeled (3)
49 - 14BM + BM^2 - BM^2 = 7
Step 4
Simplify And Solve
49 - 14BM = 7 Subtract 49 from both sides.
-49 - 14BM = 7 - 49
- 14BM = - 42 Divide by - 14
BM = -42 / - 14
BM = 3
Step Five
Find CM
CM^2 + BM^2 = 5^2
CM^2 + 3^2 = 5^2 Subtract 3^2 from both sides.
CM^2 = 25 - 9
CM^2 = 16 Take the square root of both sides.
sqrt(CM^2) = sqrt(16)
CM = 4 < Answer
